Technological evolution involves the improvement of business processes. This causes an improvement in the quality of a service or product and at the same time makes it possible to offer a more competitive price to its customers.

In this same way, drones offer a wide range of possibilities, in such a way that they improve quality and lower the price of a product or service.

From an engineering point of view, we found different needs that could be solved with the use of this technology.

However, drones have a much larger field of application. The different potential fields of application are:

• Crop analysis with multispectral cameras.
• Crop fumigation.
• Environmental monitoring.
• Aerial thermographic inspection.
• Surveillance and security.
• Air transport and shipping.
• Massive light show.
• Underwater inspections with aquatic drones.
• Industrial inspections.
• Search and rescue.

The application of drones in engineering is broad and innovative, and this topic requires in-depth research to understand the landscape and scope of disruptive technology in solving needs.
